Happy Solstice!

Yes my friends, the days are getting longer once again as the northern hemisphere begins to face the sun. Every year we orbit this segment of the galaxy, I can't help but feel a certain malaise. It must be the combination of long dark days and holiday guilt. On top of this, my spare throw seems lost and the pocket has abandoned me. Put simply, I bowled like shit. We lost. The only bright note was that JD continued on his torrid pace and seems to be solidly in 500 territory.

So, as should be obvious, I'm not much in the mood for scribing, nor crunching numbers, nor making graphs. Last night was probably the first league night I have ever experienced when I actually did not enjoy bowling. Poor bowling may have something to do with it, but it is more about anger and resentment, the source of which is as mysterious as the wobble of Earth's obliquity. It makes you wonder if the planet has an asymmetrical core. Interesting.

To the contrary, I went like 40 pins sub average in the 1st. As for you, it's always good to have you in the City of Gems, and we only expect good company and bad bowling from a rookie sub. You gave us both.

What is this?

This is the bowling blog for charismatic, astute, and discriminating bowlers. The BM Report began as a newsletter for a Laramie, Wyoming bowling team, the Bowl Movements. We are, by every measure, not particularly skilled at bowling. Mediocrity in bowling is not our goal, but sadly it is the state of our team. For three seasons, we found ourselves positioned in the lower half of the league standings. Last season, we barely crested the top half. Our Monday night venue is the Bernaski Memorial League at the Laramie Lanes. At this point, you might be asking yourself why a subpar bowling team in Laramie needs a blog. Like the great conundrums of philosophy (god, morality, epistemology, etc.), there is no good answer to this question.
